Ismet Hazir Asllani (August 18, 1955 – March 24, 1999) was a Kosovar Albanian businessman, humanitarian, and logistics commander of the 153rd Brigade of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) during the Kosovo War. He is known for using his wealth and infrastructure to provide food supplies and logistical support to KLA fighters across the regions of Drenica, Dukagjin, and Llap. In recognition of his contributions to the war effort, he was posthumously awarded the title Hero of Kosovo in 2013 by Kosovan President Atifete Jahjaga. His legacy has been publicly honored by several prominent Kosovan leaders, including President Hashim Thaçi, Speaker of Parliament Kadri Veseli, Mayor of Pristina Përparim Rama, and Mayor of Lipjan Imri Ahmeti.
